Why Data Foundations Matter for AI Success
Digitizing life sciences manufacturing isn't just about efficiency—it's the prerequisite for AI success. Research reveals that 70% of organizations struggle to access data needed for AI projects, while fragmented systems prevent AI from delivering complete insights. Organizations with connected quality events, batch records, equipment data, and supplier information into unified digital ecosystems extract significantly more AI value than those operating with siloed paper-based or disconnected systems. Building robust data infrastructure now positions manufacturers for compliant AI scaling as regulations evolve.
